http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280191028i.e arguing about mounting an independent run against Hillary Clinton who will then be the nominee ? I thought thus was not allowed on DU .

(237 posts)Bernie isn't winning
He's losing the popular vote and he's losing with delegates but it's Hillary the one that's supposed to drop out

(51,697 posts)He or she glamorizes it citing Bruce Springsteen and "Born to Run" and that Sanders would "crush them" in a three-way race.
It is totally and utterly a TOS violation. But we are outnumbered on the juries, as you know. Plus it is within the Bernie Group, and juries give threads in that group a lot more leeway, unlike threads in our group. That is why alert-stalking is so effective in the Hillary group.
Hence that OP did not get a hide. But I bet your post will be alerted on and it is anybody's guess if it survives.
Sorry. But that is the sad reality of DU these days. That is why Hillary supporters have started their own safe haven sites elsewhere, like http://hillaryclintonsupporters.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=103

That DU allows that third party advocacy garbage is pretty sad
still_one
(92,395 posts)will never vote for Hillary if she is the Democratic nominee
Essentially, DU has become an anti-Hillary site, and about the only place where that doesn't occur is in the Hillary group

(7,637 posts)why the DU admins have let it go so far. We have people running around with 10 or more hides since that too was suspended. Blatent TOS violations every day. Now with complete immunity these non democrat posters are destroying DU as well. Its turning into free republic or such. If if wanted to listen to crazy rw talking points i would go there.

"You have been blocked from participating in the Bernie Sanders group by one of its Hosts."
I just wanted to ask: Is this a Republican ratfucking operation? It seems to me that if what you are doing is in no way distinguishable from a Republican ratfucking operation, then you should be asked if what you are doing is a Republican ratfucking operation.
I understand that my question would have probably violated the site rules, but at least it is distinguishable from a Republican ratfucking operation.

(31,529 posts)I asked if it wasn't unfair to directly pose a question to a group that wasn't allowed to answer. I was told that everyone was welcome to post if they would mind their manners. When I tried to reply to that I got the message that I was blocked.
I've noticed that many Bernie supporters brag about how many posters they have on ignore. Some are supposedly ignoring hundreds. They don't want a debate, they want an echo chamber.
A very thin skinned, intolerant group.

(2,792 posts)But in a three-way election, if no one gets a majority of electoral votes, the race would be decided by the House of Representatives. That Republican body could pick one of the candidates or someone else altogether. Bernie would end up a spoiler, which he promised he would not be, since the House of Representatives would assuredly choose a Republican.

(92,395 posts)candidates, not someone else altogether, and since it is a majority of republicans in the house, they would choose trump. They sure as hell won't choose sanders, and they won't choose Hillary either

(92,395 posts)becomes president. Of course that is assuming that those willing to vote third party have enough people. They definitely won't have enough to win 270 electoral college votes.
I personally don't think third party votes against Hillary, by some supposed Sanders supporters would matter. I think Hillary will exceed the required 270 electoral votes regardless.
Whether that small number would vote for Sanders or stay home, wouldn't change things very much. They are not as important in the final scheme of things as they think they are.

You are asking questions but not directly advocating for a third party here so to me this is not a ToS violation.
But Clinton supporters will continue to alert on this and may try to jury so just an FYI.
